Vacation Leave Policy

Kontoor Brands US Based Employees, excluding Retail and

Fulfillment Production Hourly Employees

Owner: Human Resources – Benefits
Last Updated: January, 2021

Kontoor Brands is proud to offer a comprehensive vacation policy because the Company
recognizes the importance of time away from work. Kontoor employees will receive time off
based on their service time with the Company. Vacation time is awarded to all regular, full-time
employees. Part-time employees who are regularly scheduled to work at least twenty (20) weekly
hours will receive a prorated amount.

All time off will be tracked per Calendar Year. The length of service is based on the number of
years as of January 1 before the anniversary date.

Employees must notify their supervisor of the dates they would like to use vacation time off at the
earliest time possible. The request for vacation time should be entered in Workday, coding the
request as vacation. The request will be routed to your leader for approval. Your leader must
approve the request prior to your vacation time off. While Kontoor Brands desires to approve all
vacation requests, there may be instances in which a leader is unable to approve a request based
on business needs and/or staffing requirements (such as when another employee in the
department has already requested and been approved for vacation during the same time period).
Requesting vacation as far in advance as possible will provide employees the best chance of having
requests approved. Taking time off as vacation without properly recording the time as vacation in
Workday may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Annual vacation allotment will be reflected in Workday at the beginning of each year. New hires
have a 30 day waiting period to use vacation and will see their vacation balance at the time they
are eligible to take vacation leave.
